Honestly, I'm digging the new athena even more than the old one. Though I'd love to see more of your unique take on the engine pylons seen on the other ships you made before. The typhon just has the most awesome backside...
Dat exhaust....

Hmm, I've completed the rear end. I'm still deciding whether to add in those 4 "pylon" or "deflectors" or not, since they were a point of contention in whether they suited the ICC theme.
This is still WIP, so input in appreciated.
Also, I plan to make a higher poly version with more details. I do realize that DS has a poly limits on the ships.... but this is 2011, and most PCs today are capable of running much more than what the PCs of 2002 ever could.
I'm just saying.... maybe... maybe... DS can accomodate higher poly models?

I liked the side by side box engines, all stacked on top of each other. It's different from the normal circle engines, and I like it.

It looks good, however it also kinda looks like an UGTO dessie with all the sharp ends sanded down.

Thanks for the comments.
Probably because of the long tapered hull.
I tried to retain most of the shape of the first Athena.
A bit of history. The Athena is different from the existing ICC cruisers in overall appearance. I drew inspiration for the Athena by looking at the ICC Escort Dessie and the new Carrier Cruiser.
It has the submarine styled hull of the escort dessie, along with the wide catamaran pontoon profile of the Carrier Cruiser. The center "arc/wing" was inspired by LoA's ICC dread concept. I kinda liked it that the arc/wing was not at the tail end like the existing ICC CD/AD.
It could be a missile cruiser by virtue of the large hull mass. Perhaps I can draw missile bay doors all over the main hull when texturing?.... I dunno... We'll see.

i think the achilles would be a good torpedo frigate. something that wiould require 2nd rear admiral and have giant torpedos under the hull there.
the topedos would be HUGE and while it would have 1 or 2 guns/lasers it would be mostly a torpedo ship. maybe dessie class?

I like the Typhon on the first page very much, to me it looks quite powerfull in guns or beams, so Combat or Assault Dread, not MD or CC.
The Typhon is very edgy and looks somewhat ugly and
very cruel in a good way. Flat and very Broad with these gaps dividing the ship in long sections..very unusaul, unique but still ICC.
Just the nose is too long and somehow round, it should have the classic AD nose.
Sorry, the other ships Athena and Achilles are beautiful but look to me UGTO like, the way the nose bows down is not typical for ICC.
The Archangle too, but from the sides it looks great. That composite look of Grey and White Armour makes it look advanced.
Much respect for your creations!

K guys.
First off. Those r concept arts.
Second, some of the models were broken then.
Third, I lost quite a lot of them when my HDD crashed a few mths back.
I'll be rebuilding them in time, improving n correcting them along the way.
But I'm tired of doing texturing. So perhaps if someone who knows how to UV unwrap n map can step forward, I'll be glad to hand 'em off once done.

"HUGE" torps and a small dessie? Maybe the torps would be the size of the dessie? The dessie sounds too small....
